We learned the hard way not to trust players, even for rtv/votekick/voteban. It happened that players of other communities or some random groups, joined the server in big groups and started votes to kick/ban everyone else or keep changing map. And it's incredible the amount of whiners that start complaining just for the sake of it on the community forum after being banned for insulting heavily other players or even for using cheats. Well administered servers risk to be targets to this abuse report system exactly like bad servers, only servers with no admins at all are immune from complains.
